Minutemen Snatch Late-Game, 4-3 Win
The Middleboro Minutemen had to overcome a fine effort from Bridgewater pitcher Chris Williams to win, 4-3, at Worcester Grounds. Williams went 7 innings and allowed no runs. Middleboro reliever Jose Rodriguez was the winner. His record is now 6-1. Matt Rothschild took the loss. The defeat makes Bridgewater 47-45.

Middleboro got a clutch hit from Brian Talasek. The pinch hitter launched a grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a kill shot.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Bridgewater manager Manager O.C. said, following the tough loss.
